immediate communication with our
authorities. The coast survey
steamer HdsseLeT, which is to act as
a convoy, will at once return to the
United States as the bearer OF news,

of more speedy information than can
be obtained by regular steamers and

will be placed at the disposal of our
representatives on the Islands. The
absence of telegraphic commuuica-
tion at this juncture will undoubted-
ly result in a movement to secure
cable connection with Hawaii at an
early day.
